Kathie, can you post a picture? Is your 66 the Lotus or the Redeye?

I did move the Eldredge irons in my bathroom to sit there until I get my cabinet top and machine finished. Then its to the hall of Treadles!!!

Billy, there is no way I could put a treadle in either of our bathrooms! The Hall of Treadles? What is that? You are so funny! Congratulations on your 1870's Domestic! I wish these old machines could talk - I bet we'd hear some pretty interesting stories!

That is Crater Lake in Oregon. Such a beautiful sight. That is one of the many photos we took. We did a road trip to Oregon this past summer.

I have a 301 that I use a lot for machine quilting, but this one is good too. It came with a box of accessories and a buttonholer as well, so the the 301 can borrow them I guess.
Congratulations, and you have a very nice Mom! Isn't the 404 a slant needle machine like the 403 and 500's? I am not sure that I have seen one? Can you post a picture?

It is a Lotus. I wish I could post a picture but do not know how. The only way that I know how is in e-mail. Kathie

I'm getting excited. Tomorrow morning I'm picking up my friend & her 15-91 she is giving me on a long-term loan & we are taking it in to be serviced. Then it will come home with me! Can't wait to see it ! :D
